Nice, smart people to work with. Excellent culture and values. Good metrics measured, both human-wise (e.g., manager approval rates) and engineering-wise. Flexibility in choice of team, work from home options, etc. Amazing perks.

Growing pains - growth is so fast that it is hard to maintain culture and knowledge.

Messy codebase and obscure/obsolete technologies.

It is not uncommon for teams to be made mostly (or entirely!) from employees with under 1 year of experience, which slows everything down.

With all the perks and fun, it's still a job. Some people forget that.

Concentrate on providing more perks that save time and energy, such as laundry service and a gym – things that improve our productivity.

Be careful not to turn perks into time- and energy-wasters, such as collecting receipts for external sports activities. Is avoiding the few abusers of the $60 a month perk really worth the hassle for everyone else to collect, file, and submit over 70 receipts for $10 each throughout the year?
